A stablecoin is a digital asset pegged to a stable currency, often $1.
Issued on blockchains and Redeemable 1:1.
Backed by real assets like:
- Cash
- U.S. T-bills
- Repos
- Cash equivalents
Think of SCs as internet-native digital dollars.

Two giants control ~86% of the ~$250B SC market:
USDT (Tether): ~$158B
USDC (Circle): ~$61B
Institutional adoption + U.S. regulation talk accelerated growth.

We live under a “Propositional Tyranny”:
Our culture reduced knowing to a single form…the knowledge that something is the case.
But there are actually 3 other ways of knowing.
And it is precisely in those three that most of our sense of meaning in life is enacted.

The one we're all fixated on is Propositional Knowing:
Like knowing that a cat is a mammal. That’s a proposition and your sense of realness is a sense of conviction that it is true.
They afford beliefs.
Procedural knowing is…

Procedural knowing is…
…knowing how to do something (how to swim, how to ride a bike).
Notice the difference there:
Propositions are true or false.
Skills apply or not.
You're not riding a bike right now…that doesn’t mean your skill of bike riding is false.
Skills have conditions of application, not conditions of referential completion.
So you're not talking about something, you're interacting with it:

Everyone: the crew helping Putin is clear. SecArmy Dan Driscoll, who carried the Kushner/Witkoff surrender plan to Ukraine, is a friend of JD Vance's from Yale. The 39-year-old former 1st Lt. would be no one's pick for that role otherwise. Vance wants Ukraine to fall. 1/
Kushner, Witkoff, and Dmitriev met in October and turned Dmitriev's wishlist in a US plan. Then Kushner leaked it to an Axios reporter he has long ties to (Barak Ravid) to brand it as "official", rush it through before anyone asked. Kushner wants Ukraine to fall too. 2/
The leaker has to be Kushner: Axios swears it's an American, and it's not Witkoff, who accidentally posted wondering if Axios's source was "K". That doesn't mean Kirill Dmitriev - it's Jared Kushner. Only Kushner would think to use Ravid as his leakee. 3/
On Friday, utilities, generators, state regulators, trade groups, Big Tech, industrial computing facility developers, etc filed 160+ comments on DOE’s proposal for FERC to standardize large load (data center) interconnections.
My takeaways from the docket:
My takeaways from the docket:
1. Should FERC issue a rule that preempts state-regulated utility interconnection processes? That's how many understood DOE's proposal. But there’s not much support in the docket for this approach. Strongest support is from generators, data center developers (though not from all)
Hyperscalers seem lukewarm to cutting out states. Meta and Google are skeptical, at best. Microsoft seems on board but its comment is vague. Amazon implicitly endorses preemption. Overall, underwhelming support from hyperscalers. I thought DOE's intent was to help them??

When your wife pulls away, you feel it. She’s distant. Cold. Barely looks at you. She avoids your touch like it’s painful.
You may think she doesn’t desire you anymore. But that’s not what’s happening.
Here's the real truth and what to do about it:🧵

Here's the real truth and what to do about it:🧵
What you’re seeing isn’t rejection. It’s self-protection.
When a woman feels unseen, unheard, or emotionally unsafe, her nervous system shuts down the part that wants closeness.
She’s not choosing to turn cold—her body is saying, “I can’t risk getting hurt again.”

She’s not choosing to turn cold—her body is saying, “I can’t risk getting hurt again.”
Here’s what it looks like from her side:
She feels alone in the relationship.
Every gives, organizes, and carries the invisible load.
And when she needs comfort, she’s met with logic or distance.
So she stops reaching out. Then you stop trying. And silence replaces connection.

15 things you do wrong that repels women:
1. "If you can't inflict pain on her, she won't be able to love you, and when she can't love you, she won't stick around."
1. "If you can't inflict pain on her, she won't be able to love you, and when she can't love you, she won't stick around."
2. if you believe that women will adore you for being honest. you're living in a fantasy. Women seek fantasies rather than reality. At least they manage to keep them satisfied.
3. When you play the role of Mr. Perfect, don’t expect any woman to truly love you; we’re drawn to flaws, not just strengths. Strengths are everywhere, but it's our flaws that set us apart.
Today’s #manuscriptmonday looks at what ancient documents can tell us about Jesus’s occupation prior to his public ministry. Matthew 13:55 and Mark 6:3 has villagers from Nazareth asking “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?” upon Jesus’s return to his hometown. So was Jesus really a “carpenter?” How do the manuscripts help us with answering that question? A 🧵.
This is P103, a second century fragment that contains the Gospel of Matthew 13:55-56. The beginning of vs. 55 reads "Isn't this the
carpenter's son?"
carpenter's son?"
This is P.Mich.inv. 4238, an early first century collection of about one of several dozen apprenticeship contracts from Roman Egypt. This one-year contract for téktovikn "carpentry", is not only an economic arrangement, but a social and relational contract.

💼Turtle Mountain Band
The 8th Circuit ruled voters and civil rights orgs in 7 states can’t bring lawsuits under Sec 2 of the VRA to challenge racially discriminatory voting practices. If upheld, voters nationwide would lose the ability to do so too.

💼Birthright Citizenship
Trump asked the Court to uphold his order to end birthright citizenship for certain American-born children. The admin argues that the 14th amendment only applies to children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.

Trump demands Ukraine to agree to his 28-point “peace plan”.
There is no sign of ceasefire preparations in Donetsk oblast. There is only raw, muddy and deadly war going on.
This is not peace and this deal won’t bring us peace. This is what Ukrainian soldiers think 🧵

I'm not surprised by Russian-American demands. It's literally what russians pushed in Turkey in 2022 during first negotiations.
Force Ukraine to reduce our military, give up territory with our people on it. Accept occupation that brings suffering.

Just this alone is unacceptable. It’s unacceptable for the invader to dictate how we are going to shape our defenses, how we are planning to protect our Freedom and Dignity.
It’s such a shame that it comes from the US. Once a beacon of Freedom and Democracy that we looked up to

Most people think healing childhood trauma requires years of therapies, pills or courses.
Nope. Your body needs a system reset.
Your vagus nerve is key to undoing decades of damage, yet 99% of people ignore it.

Trauma is not stored in your memories.
It's trapped in your nervous system—keeping you stuck in "survival mode" 24/7.
Your brain literally can't access healing while it thinks you're under attack.
Here's why:

Your brain literally can't access healing while it thinks you're under attack.
Here's why:
Trauma hijacks your sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight), flooding your body with cortisol and adrenaline.
Over time, this becomes your default state—even when you're "safe."
Result? Anxiety, insomnia, toxic relationships, and self-destructive patterns.

Labour vote share has collapsed as Imams instruct voters to vote for Islamist candidates
The ONLY reason to remove the cap is to buy those votes back
Brits WILL NOT PAY for Muslims to have huge families
